"Dallas sacrificed some draft capital to move up one pick to get Downs, making a trade down at 20 much more likely. Ultimately, Dallas made the decision to move back from their second first-round pick to acquire some additional draft capital."
"Dallas agreed to send pick 20 and 218 (7th) to the Philadelphia Eagles in return for pick 23, 114 (4th), 137 (4th). Using the 2026 NFL Trade Value Chart, Dallas sent 853 value points and got...863 in return."
The Dallas Cowboys made a strategic move in the draft by trading up to select top defensive prospect Caleb Downs. They then opted to trade down from their second first-round pick, sending pick 20 and a seventh-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for pick 23 and two fourth-round picks. This trade allowed Dallas to gain additional draft capital while still securing a key player. The updated draft picks for Dallas include Caleb Downs at No. 11, pick 23, and two fourth-round selections.
